Ross, 

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the confusing. Let me clarify.
My scenarios is as following,
1) I created a Android based program to capture and encode H264 NAL units;
2) On Android, I seperate the H264 NAL units to Fragmentation Units (FUs-A standard based) and send these FUs-A packages by RTP/UDP via my own RTP wrapper, to Live555 server;
3) While on Live555 server side, I wrote a new H264 Source follow the http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#liveInput-unicast. to receive the above H264-FUs-A/RTP;
4) Also on Live555 server side, I had a H264VideoRTPSink;

The problem is on step 2) & 3), when live555 received the FUs-A, it cannot delivery successfully to the H264VideoRTPSink if I use FUs-A.
However, if I didn't do the fragmentation on android (send each H264 NAL units by one RTP package), then it works well. Please help.

Best Regards

Ajax Chai

I find your message confusing, because here you're talking about transmitting H.264 over RTP:

> First thank you give the guide line on how to let Live555 to take input from a live source (H264 pictures over RTP) http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#liveInput-unicast.

But here you're talking about *receiving* H.264 over RTP:
 
> I followed this guideline and made it successfully to receive the H264/RTP Live Stream from a live source (which sends Single NAL Unit Packet).

And here you seem to be talking about both transmitting and receiving, but I'm not sure:

> The problem is: if I send H264 over RTP/UDP with Fragmentation Units (FUs-A)  then Live555 failed to parse this live stream.


But anyway, the important thing to understand is that our software *automatically* handles the fragmentation (when transmitting) and defragmentation (when receiving) H.264 NAL units.  Your application software (which uses our software) *should not* deal with FU-A NAL units at all.

In particular:
- When transmitting H.264 over RTP, you should deliver your (unfragmented!) NAL units - one at a time - to a "H264VideoStreamDiscreteFramer", and then into a "H264VideoRTPSink".
- When receiving H.64 over RTP, you use a "H264VideoRTPSource".  Any fragmented NAL units in the RTP stream will automatically be defragmented before delivery.

I have been talking with my boss and we got a better solution to this:
instead of set the constructor to protected, redefine it and close the previous connection before create the new one, have this connection created on a protected method so only is needed to be overloaded just this method, so the connection is only done one time and also the constructor gets untouched :-)

I am writing a proxy for VOD servers.  I am using the Live 555 server for testing.  The version I have is about 1 year old.  How can I tell, from the source code, what version I have? If I say play range npt=30-60 at scale 1 it works. If I say play range npt=30-60 at scale 2 it goes way beyond 60 before it stops. Is (or was) this a bug or am I using it wrong. Also, what player would you suggest to test the rewind. The VLC player doesn't seem to support it (or am I using that wrong also). Can you recommend any other free RTSP servers that I can test with? If I want to play backwards from time 60 to time 30 do I just say Range: npt=60-30 or Range: npt=30-60? What scale should I use for rewind? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

See http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#latest-version

As noted in the FAQ, only the latest version of the code is supported.

Hi Ross,


If an RTSP request belonging to an established  session is sent over a new TCP connection, the server seems to respond with a "405 Method Not Allowed". According to the RFC, RTSP requests can be transmitted in several different ways including one connection per request/response transaction?


This is especially a problem on android devices that experience connection issues. It seems network issues *sometimes* cause subsequent RTSP requests to be sent over a new connection resulting in the 405 response. We've observed this using VLC on android (which uses live555) and replicated it with a python script using the *latest* version of the live555 RTSP server. 


Output re-using connection:

If it helps, I could send you the python script to replicate the issue. 
Do you consider this to be a bug?


Best regards,
Ralf
